^ Funny because Shin wasnt lying. Read what he says again; its Ryu hes p'd at, not Dre, who he realises is just trying to defend his brother. I went through the entire thought process of Shin and he even says at one point in my post to Dre that his brother cannot be right all the time, and if people talked more things would be better, both references to the misunderstanding you GM godmodded on my character.

I am seriously done with the rpg until something new happens though, so I guess I'll just set to lurking from now on.

I'm just waiting for the "what's happening? Why isn't it over?". Then this is over.

"For Feanor was made the mightiest in all parts of body and mind, in valour, in endurance, in beauty, in understanding, in skill, in strength and subtlety alike, of all the Children of Illuvatar, and a bright flame was in him"

*sigh* so doing a bit of godmodding to get past Takezo's challenge, this is getting to be a chore roleplaying here, I'm pretty sick of Shin being the resident buttmonkey, yeah I know I made him slight in build but Im sick of him getting pushed, I joined this rp to be badass, not treated worse than I am in real life.

To be honest I have enough dealing with chavs giving speeches like Takezo in RL without seeing it here. At least here I can flip reverse it.

That's rough. But did you honestly think I'd let you act like a bigshot? He became a gantzer just 24 hours ago and doesn't think the brothers are a big deal?
I showed in several situations that a working suit doesn't make you gods, but the brothers are still not a real threat (despite them being two).
Takezo acts the same way. Should I let the two brothers not act like that too, just to make you guys look more cool? That's not me. And Andre wouldn't stand for it too.

And don't forget that you partially made this mess yourself. It doesn't have anything to do with his build. Look at your reaction when Takezo didn't like Shin playing the leader and bumped into him. You took it to the extreme. If Dino, Tomoe or Naomi did that, it would be okay. But for a newbie it's a bit too much.
It makes sense for a punching ball to act out after suddenly being so powerful.
But your opponents are wearing suits too and they are tough. Takezo lives on the street, Andre does ultimate fighting and Ryu has a violent background too. Why would they let Shin act like a bigshot, when it makes them look weak? Be badass against the aliens, they don't mind as much.

Personally, I'd rather have something like you happening than going through the game without anything happening. I'd take Shin's experiences over Sean's any day. It's much more fun.

Oh, come on ikari, don't take things so seriously. It's a game after all, sides in the RPG you can always make things up. Be who you want to be, it doesn't matter as long as you enjoy the game. There will always be someone to put you down, unlike in the real world you get to make choices that can be pretty fun which you'd never normally do in real life. Anyways it's never easy being the hero. You always get shit first before recognition but one you prove what you're made off, then hey!

@ Feanor; never mentioned anywhere that Shin didnt think the Brothers were a big deal. He was going to ally with Takezo to give himself a chance and still hoped it would be Ryu he'd be facing.

I do think its a crock that just because the only fighting/rough aspect of Shin I gave him was a skill at kendo that people who spent all the effort of making their character UBERCOMBATZ MASTER like Dino and Dre or UBER TOUGH STREETZ FUGG like Takezo and Ryu that he has to automatically be their bitch. Its basically saying I should be punished because I didnt make Shin a 7 foot muscled out bum-fighter with parkour skillz.

It was never specifically mentioned, but it was also never mentioned that they were a big deal. That's what I got from the way it was written. The thought that even fighting Ryu alone could get him killed wasn't there. Of course that goes for the others too though.
But maybe that's just me. And essentially it's your character.

I agree with you about the creation of the characters. Angryman really went overboard with Dino in my opinion. An ex-hitman that now trains snipers (or something like that), when gantzers are supposed to be normal people (mostly). Plus Angryman had his own character be the best on the team.
An ex nfl player that now does ultimate fighting goes in the same direction. Takezo was like Nishi from the start, which might be a bit fast. But at least dharma takes him out of the spotlight from time to time, which balances it for me.

And it's not like Shin should naturally be their bitch because you created a more normal character. But you can't expect them to stay quiet when Shin acts out like he did this mission at times. Just like you can't expect people to just fall in line when Shin tries to lead them.

"For Feanor was made the mightiest in all parts of body and mind, in valour, in endurance, in beauty, in understanding, in skill, in strength and subtlety alike, of all the Children of Illuvatar, and a bright flame was in him"

actually i think that it's not howmyou made your character. You could have made a typical normal person and still be the alpha male. The problem you're facing is due to how you play shin. For some reason you seem make shin second guess himself often. Saying one thing for a moment then doing a 180. I can list a few occasions but i'm typing on my mobile. Obviously this second guessihg will be taken as a weakness. Especially when going against characters that are more focused.
